Python Project Overview with OOP

Allowed Time: (2 Hrs)


This project combines file handling, data parsing, statistical analysis, and object-
oriented programming to create a comprehensive library management and data analysis
system. Students will develop a system that reads various types of data from a text file and
utilizes classes to manage books and a library. This project will help students understand
how to integrate different aspects of Python programming into a unified application.
Project Setup
1. Files Required:
• utilities.py:
Contains helper functions and classes for data handling and OOP.
• main.py: The main driver script that uses functions and classes from utilities.py.
2. Data:
• Data will be read from a file named input.txt.
• The structure of input.txt must include:
• First line: Comma-separated temperature readings.
• Second line: Comma-separated humidity readings.
• Third line: A string of words separated by non-alphabetic characters.
• Fourth line: Book information in the format "title" : "Author" : "date of publication".
Project Tasks
Task 1: Basic File Operations and Data Parsing
• Objective: Read and parse different types of data from input.txt.
• Details:
• Extract temperature and humidity data from the first two lines.
• Clean and split a string of words from the third line.
• Parse book information from the fourth line.
Task 2: Object-Oriented Data Management
• Objective: Implement classes to handle the management of books and a library.

Develop a simple library management system using OOP concepts. This system
should manage books including checking them in and out, and maintaining a catalog
of available books.
Requirements:
1. Book Class:
• Attributes: title (string), author (string), publication_date
(String), is_checked_out (boolean).
• Methods:
• check_out(): Modifies the book's status to checked out.
• return_book(): Modifies the book's status to available.
• __str__(): Returns a string representation of the book, suitable for
printing.
2. Library Class:
• Attributes: catalog (list of Book instances).
• Methods:
• add_book(book):Adds a new book to the catalog.
• check_out_book(title): Checks out a book by its title.
• return_book(title): Returns a book by its title.
• available_books(): Prints titles of all books that are not checked out.
Example Output:
Added "1984" by George Orwell.
Checked out "1984".
Available books:
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Returned "1984".
Hint:
Leverage the __str__ method in the Book class for easy string representation
when printing books.
Task 3: Data Analysis Functions
• Objective: Perform statistical analysis on temperature and humidity data.
• Details:
• Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for both sets of data.
• Implement filtering methods to select data points based on computed statistics.
Task 4: Advanced String Manipulations
• Objective: Advanced operations on the list of words.
• Details:
• Analyze the frequency of each unique word.
• Identify and report the most common words.
Task 5: Integration and Reporting
• Objective: Integrate all components and generate a comprehensive report.
• Details:
• Compile all results, including statistical analyses, filtered data, and common words.
• Generate a report listing all books currently stored in the library.
Additional Guidelines
• Students are encouraged to use standard Python libraries like numpy for statistical
calculations and re for regular expressions.
• The project should be well-documented, with comments explaining the purpose
and functionality of each part of the code.
• Error handling should be implemented to manage potential issues during file
reading or data processing.
This project aims to provide a holistic learning experience by combining different
programming concepts and tasks that build upon each other, culminating in a practical,
real-world application.
